Nelson Park's Outdoor Skate Rink adjacent to the Hutchinson Trail, St. Louis Park

Description: Nelson Park is a multi-use park which features an outdoor paved inline skate rink and the adjacent Hutchinson Trail; a popular trail that weaves its way through multiple cities and is not short in longevity. The area is ideal for Robichon's skate skill development and skate skill trail application. We spend time developing our technique in the warm arms of a controlled rink. When possible, we integrate our new skate technique on the trail system during a trail skate - a real world skate. We often schedule the trail skates after a series of four lessons or for an unused rain make up option. Robichon's rates the trail as an easy skate depending on exercises.

Getting There:

From Hwy 100 - Take Highway 100 to Minnetonka Blvd. Travel West on Minnetonka Blvd. past the major intersection of Dakota Avenue (approximately .5 miles from Hwy 100) to Georgia Avenue (soon after Dakota Ave.). Take a Right onto Georgia Avenue into Nelson Park. Nelson Park is about 3/4 of a mile from Minnetonka Blvd. While traveling on Georgia you will drive into what seems to be a dead end yet is a parking lot for Nelson Park's outdoor roller rinks.

Meeting Place: Robichon's Instructors will meet & greet you in the paved outdoor skate rink or in Peter Hobart Elementary School's Parking Lot!

* Bathrooms available in Peter Hobart Elementary School - enter main entrance. Alternative bathroom located behind Peter Hobart Elementary School next to Softball fields.

What to Bring: Please bring water as no water fountains are available. Also a fold out chair affords one the luxuries of home.
